Darkness has descended on Kings Canyon. The Arena now belongs to the forces of darkness and every Legend is pledging loyalty to one of two camps – Beasts, or Demons. You pick your side, unlock either infernal abilities or outright werewolf powers, and then run wild across a haunted version of the oldest Apex map. The only question is whose banner you fight under.
Go feral in Wildcard
The whole thing plays out in Wildcard. You pledge to Beasts or Demons and then earn your faction’s Wild Cards by completing challenges during the match. Every round throws a fresh task at you: deal enough damage or land enough knocks and the Wild Card is yours.
What each side gives you differs quite a bit:
- Beasts – you turn into a fast-moving monster with bonus melee movement speed, faster cells and weapon switching, plus temporary critical hits on reload.
- Demons – you become an infernal powerhouse with faster ability recharge, high-tier shields, and a full shield recharge from just one cell.
If Wildcard is new to you, it is the same mode that recently hosted the crossover where Street Fighter 6 brought fight styles into Apex, and we have also covered the later Wildcard tuning in a separate article.
Stalk a haunted Kings Canyon
Everything goes down on a spooky Kings Canyon. Fog can randomly roll in across the map, hiding squad movement and cutting down sightlines – smart hunters use it to stalk their prey instead of running from it. To counter that, Respawn dusted off Rev Shell Grenades so you can seek out whoever is lurking in the dark.
Watch out for haunted buildings, glowing Nessies and the scares stashed around the map, including haunted Loot Bins and Pumpkin-skinned EVO orbs.
Full moon fashion in the Blood Pact Store
Cosmetics live in the Blood Pact Store. You can go full 80s werewolf with Sparrow’s new Legend Skin and Character Select Animation, or channel your inner demons with Alter’s new Legend Skin and the new R-99 Weapon Skin. On top of that there are new Beast and Demon Legend Retheme Bundles and more.
